The Uintah Basin sits at elevation. We average a little over 5,000 feet at the studio, the air is dry most of the year, and a lot of my clients spend their weekends well above 7,000 — hunting, riding, hiking up into the Uintas. Recovery here is different from recovery at sea level, and that's a big part of why I added IV infusions to the studio menu.
Here's what's actually happening when you sit down for one.
The straightforward version
An IV infusion delivers fluid, electrolytes, vitamins, or amino acids directly into your bloodstream. By going around the digestive tract, you absorb close to 100% of what's in the bag — versus a fraction of what an oral supplement delivers, depending on the nutrient. That's the entire functional argument for IV therapy.
There are reasonable people who think most of us would be better served by a tall glass of water and a vegetable. They're often right. But there are also seasons of the year — long backcountry weekends, a flu that just won't quit, the third day of a wedding — where the math tips toward the drip.
What's actually in the bag
The base of every IV infusion in this studio is saline solution balanced for human plasma. From there, the formulations diverge.
A Hydration drip is just balanced electrolyte fluid — the workhorse. Good for elevation rebound, post-illness rehydration, hangover recovery, or the day after a hard ride.
An Energy drip layers in B-complex vitamins, sometimes amino acids. The "energy" you feel isn't caffeine — it's the cofactors your body needs to convert food into ATP working again at full strength.
A Beauty / Anti-Aging drip adds biotin, vitamin C, and supporting cofactors that show up in skin, hair, and connective tissue. I'm careful with the language here: this is a wellness service, not a medical claim. We're not curing anything. We're providing your body the building blocks it uses, more efficiently than oral can.
An Athlete Recovery drip focuses on amino acids and rehydration — the recovery side of training.
A Recovery drip layers anti-inflammatory cofactors onto rehydration for those long, hard days.
An Immunity drip is high-dose vitamin C, zinc, and B-complex — the cofactors your immune system uses heavily when it's working.
A Weight Loss drip layers in lipotropic and metabolic cofactors that support the metabolism. It is not a substitute for nutrition or movement, and I'm transparent with everyone who books it: this is a tool, not a fix.
The honest part about NAD+
NAD+ is a wellness add-on. It is not FDA-approved for any specific indication, and I don't make medical claims about it. I list it on the menu because it's a popular request, the science around its biological role in cellular metabolism is genuine, and clients who choose it understand the wellness framing. I won't tell you it cures anything, because it doesn't, and the FDA has been increasingly attentive to medspas that imply otherwise.
If you want to add NAD+, I'm happy to walk through what it is and what it isn't.
The Basin-specific case
The reason I think IV infusions make particular sense here is the combination of altitude, dry air, and outdoor lifestyle. By the time you've spent a long weekend chasing elk in the Uintas at 9,000 feet, you've often lost a meaningful amount of fluid before you ever notice you're thirsty. A focused 45-minute drip can reset what would otherwise take a day or two of disciplined hydration.
It's not magic. It's IV-rate hydration delivered in a quiet hour, and for the right person on the right week, that's exactly what's needed.
What it looks like in this studio
Each IV is delivered in a comfortable chair, in a quiet room, in 30–45 minutes. Most clients work through their phone, a book, or just close their eyes. There's no required follow-up; we set the cadence based on your goals.
The full IV menu is on the pricing page, starting at $125 for Hydration and topping out at $189 for Weight Loss.
IV infusions at Jaed Aesthetics are provided as wellness services. We do not diagnose, treat, or cure medical conditions. If you have an underlying medical condition, talk to your physician before booking.
